Intel and Novell signed an agreement outlining their plan for
collaboration. Novell also announced it will create a Moblin-based
product for netbooks that it will take to market to a wide range of OEMs
and ODMs.Additionally,Novell will establish Novell® Open
Labs in Taiwan to foster the adoption of Moblin and will work with the
Taiwan Moblin Enabling Center (MEC), a joint effort of Intel and the
Taiwan Institute for Information Industry, to validate designs for
Moblin compliance.

Intel launched Moblin in 2007 and incubated the effort until last month
when the Linux Foundation became host of the community. Intel continues
to contribute key technologies and work with the developer community to
advance the effort. Novell began contributing to the Moblin project last
October.

“Novell has taken a significant leadership role in the Moblin community
since joining the effort late last year, and today’s announcement will
extend Novell’s level of involvement,” said Doug Fisher, vice president
of Intel’s Software and Services Group and general manager of the System
Software Division. “The combination of Intel Atom processor-based
platforms and Moblin-based Novell software will provide even more
opportunities for OEMs, ODMs and the broader Moblin community to deliver
excellent mobile Internet solutions.”

Novell’s contributions to the Moblin ecosystem include leading the open
source development of key operating system features such as window,
e-mail and media management.

“We are extending our involvement with Moblin because we believe that it
provides a richer mobile Internet experience,” said Ron Hovsepian,
Novell president and CEO. “The emergence of such mobile computing
platforms as netbooks presents a significant growth opportunity. We
believe that Moblin-based Novell software on Intel-based platforms will
offer OEMs and ODMs exceptional solutions for delivering a full Internet
experience on such devices.”

Cloud Expo

Cloud Computing & All That
It Touches In One Location Cloud Computing - Big Data - Internet of Things
SDDC - WebRTC - DevOps
Cloud computing is become a norm within enterprise IT.

The competition among public cloud providers is red hot, private cloud continues to grab increasing shares of IT budgets, and hybrid cloud strategies are beginning to conquer the enterprise IT world.

Big Data is driving dramatic leaps in resource requirements and capabilities, and now the Internet of Things promises an exponential leap in the size of the Internet and Worldwide Web.

The world of SDX now encompasses Software-Defined Data Centers (SDDCs) as the technology world prepares for the Zettabyte Age.

Add the key topics of WebRTC and DevOps into the mix, and you have three days of pure cloud computing that you simply cannot miss.

Delegates will leave Cloud Expo with dramatically increased understanding the entire scope of the entire cloud computing spectrum from storage to security.

Cloud Expo - the world's most established event - offers a vast selection of 130+ technical and strategic Industry Keynotes, General Sessions, Breakout Sessions, and signature Power Panels. The exhibition floor features 100+ exhibitors offering specific solutions and comprehensive strategies. The floor also features two Demo Theaters that give delegates the opportunity to get even closer to the technology they want to see and the people who offer it.
